Ten years after appearing together in the highest earning film of all time, Titanic co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are about to reunite in front of the cameras.

According to the Daily Variety, DiCaprio and Winslet, who earned respective Oscar nominations this year in Blood Diamond and Little Children, will star in the Revolutionary Road, based on Richard Yates's 1961 book about postwar disillusionment.

Winslet's husband Sam Mendes will direct the story of a seemingly content 1950s couple who buckle under the pressure of balancing their true desires with social expectations. It will be Mendes's first time directing his wife.

Shooting is set to begin this summer on the DreamWorks and BBC Films co-production, which Mendes will produce with Scott Rudin. Titanic opened in 1997 and went on to gross $1.85bn (£938.5m) worldwide.
